It looks like Ryan Dahl predicted it: "It would be nice to download the massive codebase that ESLint is and run it without it taking over my computer - which it could."
We were looking for an easy way to share our style guide between front-end and design teams. `react-sketchapp` by airbnb didn't really work for us (because it requires you to use React, only generic components (no HTML tags) and inline styles), so we build html-sketchapp. Video showing how it works: https://twitter.com/kdzwinel/status/893242605009612801
Two days ago my team was doing a global change in our style guide and we needed a visual regression tool to help us avoid unexpected issues. Unfortunately, PhantomCSS setup is complicated and we quickly got frustrated. That's why I crated Look-alike. It's convenient for ad hoc usage. (Note that it's not meant for cases where frequent, repetitive and multi-page tests are needed!)
Oh, and BTW - the whole thing is open source and available on github: https://github.com/kdzwinel/Look-alike
I'm not sure what do you mean. Only code that I wrote for this demo is in index.html and main.js. These two files are not minified. Ocrad.js, jquery, modernizr, bootstrap are minified because these are libraries that I'm importing. Everything is explained under the app, please read the description.
That's strange, I never got that bad results. Check out my video where I'm demonstrating the app ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttn437BlEbo ), you'll see what texts I've worked on.
Recognition algorithm is provided by ocrad.js which is a JavaScript version of the OCRAD project ( http://www.gnu.org/software/ocrad/ ). It's not perfect, but IMO it's very good - just make sure to use huge, printed, black-on-white text.
Using simple text correction algorithm should work just fine. However, this goes beyond this simple experiment. I just wanted to demonstrate capabilities of ocrad.js . Feel free to implement it yourself! It seems that there are multiple JS auto-correction libs, e.g. https://code.google.com/p/careti/ .
